Foghorn Leghorn has just called for a special prosecutor over Enron, and made various damning accusations against the President and many people in his administration.

Live on all cable stations now.

I just heard it too, and I'm a bit miffed that the two Republicans who spoke after Dorgan and Hollings, never said a word in defense of the President or the Vice President. Their silence tells alot.

[MizSterious]

Anyone have a transcript of this debacle yet? Hollings said Bush had a "cash and bury" scheme with Enron. You're right, this is war.

[MeekOneGOP]

Did I hear that right? Bush is "Cash & Carry" Administration???

[MamaLucci]

More...Hollings called Enron not just a business scandal, but also a government scandal, and listed all of the Bush admin. people with current or past ties to Enron.
The White House needs a STRONG response to the comments by Hollings. Peter Fitegerald, my Senator, completely ignored Foghorn's comments, SHAME ON HIM. I am calling Fitgeralds office NOW.

This dog won't hunt.

[MizSterious]

I thought at first he said "Cash and BURY", later he changed it to Cash and Carry. What a sleaze. What, then, was the Clinton admin? Rape and carry?

[hchutch]

Don't count on it. This is approved from McAuliffe and Hillary! themselves. It's a desperation play, but it could very easily work.

[big bad easter bunny]

Democrats are now the Backfire Boys!

[Republican Wildcat]

It's entirely possible Fitzgerald couldn't tell what Hollings was saying.

[aomagrat]

This man is an embarrassment to the state of South Carolina and the whole nation.

[Hank Rearden]

Just give him a shove, and he'll fall over. Isn't he about 143 years old?

Which reminds me: I'm sick of all the parasitic, useless, feeble old coots that are supposedly the bulwark of our theoretically-free country.

[MamaLucci]

"Cash & Carry" Administration???

YEP....and Fitzgerald had NO RESPONSE! I am madder than a hornet!

[wardaddy]

It may not hunt but the media will repeat it often enough that some of it will invariably stick in people's minds. Sad.

Hollings is just a cranky old coot.

[hmmmmm]

I just posted this on another thread. I saw that also. I'm still so stunned I'm not sure what to think. This entire press conference is shocking. I hope Fox replays this over and over. Everyone should get to see who/what is repesenting "the people" in D.C. I think this is the most blatant personal political attack I've ever seen.

I think your title is the perfect description.

[Tuco-bad]

Sen Hollings just about called every member of the Bush administration a crook..in language rarely heard in politics.

Last year Senator Hollings was the ONLY senator to vote (97 - 1) against the H-1B program, that brings in foreign workers to displace American workers and to keep a lid on salaries; especially IT and engineering salaries.

Sen. Hollings might be the only honest senator in the U.S. Senate.

[freeperfromnj]

Someone from the administration needs to come out and counter this b.s. now. Time to take the kid gloves off

[MamaLucci]

Sen. Hollings might be the only honest senator in the U.S. Senate.

Not only are you a liar (you promised not to post here anymore if Gore lost), you are also delusional.

[hchutch]

No kidding. I sure hope this fires a bunch of people up. Has Rush said anything yet?

Thanks, guys. I was posting this on breaking and thought "I MUST have heard that wrong". Glad to know my hearing is ok, but now my HEAD hurts. BUT. . .the DIMocRATS are digging their own grave I think! Hehehe!
